Maria Saenz Obituary
Born on June 23, 1948, Estella led a full life filled with caregiving, volunteer work, and home decorating. She was a beloved matriarch and friend. She has joined two other brothers in Heaven. She will be remembered for her giving heart, her strong faith, and her coffee parties. She dedicated her life to her family, friends, and community.
To honor her life services will be held on February 7, 2026 from 8:00am to 10:30am at San Jose Funeral Home, with a burial to follow at Mount Carmel at 11:00am.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate funds to El Paso Public School classrooms. Estella helped many children find joy in the classroom through her volunteer work at South Loop Elementary. https://theclassroomfund.org/donate
